Jagiellonia vs Olimpija Prediction and Betting Tips | December 19th 2024

Jagiellonia and Olimpija Ljubljana will battle for three points in a UEFA Conference League clash on Thursday (December 19th). The game will be played at Chorten Arena.

The hosts will be looking to bounce back from the 1-0 defeat they suffered away to Mlada Boleslav last week. Patrik Vydra's 76th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.

Olimpija, meanwhile, suffered a 4-1 defeat at home to Cercle Brugge. They went behind to Kazeem Olaigbe's second-minute strike while Alejandro Blanco drew them level just three minutes later. Felipe Augusto restored the visitors' lead in the 24th minute and Thalisson had a nightmarish game that saw him sent off just three minutes after coming on at halftime. Cercle capitalized on their numerical advantage, with Ahoueke Deney giving them a two-goal lead in the 72nd minute while Olaigbe completed his brace in the 81st.

The loss saw Olimpija drop to 14th spot in the table, having garnered nine points from five games. Jagiellonia are eighth on 10 points.

Jagiellonia vs Olimpija Prediction

Jagiellonia are guaranteed to play continental football next year, having secured their spot in the top 24. However, the Polish champions will be looking to maintain their top eight spot to guarantee a place in the round of 16 in what is their debut campaign in the main stage of a UEFA club competition. Adrian Siemieniec's side saw their 18-game unbeaten run ended with their defeat to Boleslav.

Olimpija, for their part, have also guaranteed a place in the top 24 but have a shot at climbing into the top eight if they claim maximum points here.

We are backing the home side to secure a narrow win with goals at both ends.

Prediction: Jagiellonia 2-1 Olimpija
